Have you seen this JDM lip for the JDM RS rear?

mr.white_hb · 12-09-2009, 01:25 PM

go with a JDM leather wheel, it will be a nice touch of luxury to your car!!

The leather wheel is a huge inmprovement over the hard plastic. AS someone else said, you touch the wheel more than any other part of the car, so it is worth spendign a bit of $$ on. I've had my leather wheel for almost a year now, and I still find myself noticing how much more I like the feel.

Wouldn't the rear bumper cost more with the cost of reflectors, brace, lip, and paint?

evo165 · 12-10-2009, 08:51 AM

Leather wheel sure touch & feel greater than the bumper itself. In the first place, i think of converting the jdm bumper to have the JDM vitz RS look. Now i think it again, hack! How many people on the road can tell if mine is Yaris or JDM Vitz RS unless those people on the road know sure know how to tell the different.

My calculation doesn't include any paint work and lower lip on my first post. For any JDM bumper, there're actually "factory" painted bumper, so i just need to give my colour code to supplier and they will just work it out for me.

But than again, think i will not commit myself now or in future to the JDM bumper due to the fact i won't be able to enjoy it while driving in my car. hee!!

Man, I still get nostalgic about my Corolla that had a leather wheel, it felt so nice..

eTiMaGo · 12-11-2009, 01:50 PM

I have my car right now with the standard front bumper and JDM rear bumper. I used to have a Kenstyle lip kit before but removed it. Hope this can give you some ideas:

Personally, I think it is better without side skirts. Or, you need to add a lip to the rear bumper too, so that the bottom of the body flows well together

As for the steering wheel, why not get an aftermarket steering wheel? This way, you can add spacers to bring it closer, which is a much more comfortable driving position (no need to bend your legs so much)
